Section 231 Admire the Southeast Fleet
Lai Shengwen guessed correctly, Yan Changwu listened to Hong Xiguan's report, since the other party's intentions are not good, it is not to blame me for not giving face.
As soon as he had made up his mind, he acted rudely, ordering the battleship to fire empty guns in a dense row.
Xiong Wencan was sitting in the yamen of the governor of the city, and when he heard the sound of cannons, he was the one who had led the soldiers, and he immediately knew that something was wrong.
At that time, artillery was a big deal, and the army dared to shoot artillery without notifying the governor in charge of the army?!
Mutiny?
No way!
Lao Xiong knows the soldiers, Guangdong is relatively wealthy, and he has only recently rewarded the army, and it is impossible to rebel.
Someone came in?
No, if there is a fight, the sound of artillery is very chaotic, not as regular as it is now.
Then Taiwan Xiaoyan is here!
Counting the time, the time is almost up, Xiao Yan is young, but he does things very decently, not the kind of person who is too high-profile.
If he does that......
Xiong Wencan is worthy of being an old man, and guessed the reason: Xiao Yan was wronged, and some people wanted to embarrass him!
The conscience of heaven and earth, Lai Shengwen called Qu Dao In the Ming Dynasty, how can there be a reason why the lower officials do not see the upper officials!
But what he didn't expect was that it was not only the lower officials who didn't see the lower officials, but the upper officials who came to see the lower officials!
Lao Xiong knew that Xiao Yan never went ashore, he used to see Xiao Yan, and he went to Kinmen, and the two met on the island.
That outlying island is surrounded by the Southeast Fleet, Xiao Yan will not be unfavorable to Xiong Wencan, Xiao Yan's safety in Kinmen is guaranteed, no one dares to touch him, everyone is assured.
After all, there is a request for Xiao Yan, it's just that, Ben Du go to see him!
Yan Changwu has always been courteous and thoughtful, and he has made promises, and the benefit is that the governor who can be called Nanbatian also gives him face.
……
The governor's guard of honor was placed at the Whampoa Wharf, and then the Guangdong envoys, the judges, the soldiers, the prefect of Guangzhou, the Huadu County Commander and other officials came one after another, Lai Shengwen hurried out to greet him, and saw Xiong Wencan and said: "I have seen the Governor, what is the matter with the Governor of Labor?" ”
Since the two were not far apart, Lai Shengwen bowed.
"This governor knows that the Fujian guest soldiers have arrived, and they have obeyed orders under this governor in the past, now let's see what progress they have!" Xiong Wencan waved his hand as a salute and said with a smile.
Of course, he couldn't say that I had come to see them because the other side was not ashore, and that I had come to inspect the other side's fleet myself.
"Come on, let's get on the ship and see the fleet that Ben Governor has trained before!" Xiong Wencan was not ashamed and invited Lai Shengwen.
Lai Shengwen hesitated slightly, and gave Xiong Wencan a sentence to him: "Don't worry! With Bendo, they listen to me! ”
……
Yan Changwu did give Xiong Wencan face, and when the old Xiong stepped onto the springboard of the ship, the salute was fired nineteen, and the officers and men on the ship lined up to greet each other.
Lai Shengwen finally met General Yan, whom he had been obsessed with, and what surprised him was that the other party was surprisingly young and a small hairy head, but his aura was strong, giving people a feeling that everything was under control.
Yan Changwu did not wear the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, but his set of modern military uniforms, the medals and costumes were dazzling (he did not wear a gold purple medal), and the other officers and soldiers were the same, but they almost blinded the eyes of Lai Shengwen and other generals of the Guangdong Navy, they never thought that there was such a beautiful military uniform in this world!
Their military uniforms are three-dimensional and fitted at the waist, fully embodying the beauty of male masculine strength. Epaulettes, plackets, military merit medals, military age, rank, honor medals (that is, rows of small checkerboards on military uniforms) and so on are readily available.
Officers wear sabers and short guns, while soldiers stand in a military posture with long spears in their hands! Hold your head high, like a mountain cliff, majestic!
What surprised Lai Shengwen even more was a "salute!" "All the officers and soldiers performed a strange military salute in unison!
They don't kneel, and the military spirit is on full display!
Because they didn't wear the Ming military uniform, they performed the military salute of the Southeast Prefecture.
Deng Tianyan, who was tall, stepped forward and said, "Please Lord Governor and Lord Overseer to review the honor guard of the Southeast Fleet!" ”
Xiong Wencan took the lead, Yan Changwu took half a step back from him, and Deng Tianyan behind followed with a saber, and the threesome.
Walking slowly, Xiong Wencan smiled and inspected the Marines standing straight on the deck.
A neat queue, a sassy heroic posture.
"Raise your gun and salute Governor Xiong and Yan Overseer!" Deng Tianyan ordered in a sonorous and powerful voice.
All the sergeants moved in unison, raising their guns in unison!
Their eyes followed closely as the leaders walked by.
It is breathtaking, and officials from all walks of life can see that they are relaxed and happy, and they can't wait to become the commander of such a strong army----- and they want to have such a strong army, and it is not a problem to make meritorious contributions.
"Good, good!" Xiong Wencan was very happy, and then he and Yan Changwu walked to the stern, below which were the officers and men of the Southeast Fleet and began to speak: "Today the wind and the sun are beautiful, this officer is very happy in his heart, this officer has not left Fujian not long ago, but he can see my elite division of Fujian in Guangdong!" …… I invited you to come here to exterminate the sea thieves Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi...... I believe that with everyone's efforts, we will definitely win! ”
"Under the wise command of the Governor, and with the active cooperation of officials at all levels, I am confident that we will achieve victory! ......" Yan Changwu continued to speak, which made the officials of Daming Guangdong fiercely appreciate the official words of "leading wisely", which made them stunned and impressed by the young Xiao Yan.
This kid has a future!
Even if he doesn't lead troops, he can mix in officialdom!
And then there's the dedication!
After capturing a bunch of ragged pirates and escorting them to the deck, Yan Changwu reported to Xiong Wencan: "We fought with the pirates in the Wanshan Islands, sank ten of their ships, captured these people, and are now handed over to the provincial prosecutor for trial!" ”
This is tantamount to giving credit to him, and the local officials in Guangdong have a very good impression of him at once.
……
Xiong Wencan acted vigorously and resolutely, directly held a meeting of officials at all levels in the officer's cafeteria of the battleship, and with the addition of the Southeast Fleet, his waist was hardened, and he announced that all local officials would defend the armor and joint defense, and not give the pirates a chance to take advantage of it, and they would fight when they saw them on land, so that the pirates would have any chance to supply, and the coastal defense units could not let go of the pirates.
"Even if you can't beat it, okay, Ben Governor is a reasonable person, you must tell Ben Du where the pirates are!"
"This governor immediately dispatched this Fujian Navy Division and Guangdong Navy Division troops, I think everyone believes that they will be able to deal with pirates!"
Listening to this, everyone didn't dare to have any hope for the Guangdong Navy Division in the past, but the arrival of the Fujian Navy Division is different!
The pirates have gone too far, causing serious uneasiness in the Guangdong officialdom, and now the Governor has attracted guest soldiers to strengthen the army, and everyone has swelled their confidence!
"Whoever dares not to cooperate with the Fujian Navy Division, that is, he will not give face to the governor, and he will miss a major event, and he will blame the governor for naming and strictly participating in the matter." Xiong Wencan said in a fierce voice.
Xiong Wencan assigned tasks to officials at all levels, and he announced that the troops of the Fujian Naval Division were under his direct command, and only his card orders could order the troops of the Fujian Naval Division to be dispatched, and he specially sent Xiong Ting (a relative), a general of the Governor's Yamen, to be stationed on the battleship of the Fujian Naval Division to facilitate contact.
Yan Changwu smiled and had no objections.
And Lai Shengwen, the chief soldier of the Guangdong Naval Division, scolded in his heart, and knew with his ass that this strong army would definitely make meritorious contributions, and he also wanted to bring the Fujian Naval Division troops under his command, and he couldn't run away with his merits, and if he could annex the troops, a better dream could not come true.
